    Description

    Attend our Info Session: Building Relationships with Adults with Disabilities

    Do For One is a relationship building program that brings isolated people with disabilities in NYC into greater community life through the power of one-on-one, freely given, enduring relationships.

    Join us for our next In-Person Info Session on Saturday morning, January 24th, from 10:15AM-12:15PM at a venue in Midtown East (Manhattan).

    At this orientation session, you will:

    • Hear stories of transformative relationships between people with and without disabilities, and learn about how you can get involved.
    • Gain a deeper understanding of the history and philosophy behind Do For One’s mission.
    • Learn about Do For One’s approach in addressing the core issue of devaluation that people with disabilities face and why personal and freely-given relationships is our response. There will be extended time for Q+A and mingling at the end.

    For those interested in becoming matched into a one-on-one supportive relationship with a person with a disability, please note that in 2026, our primary focus is recruiting people with disabilities living in Manhattan and Astoria, Queens.

    • We welcome Advocates living anywhere to get involved, but please know that it is less likely that you will be able to be matched with someone living outside of those areas.

    Process:

    • Click "RSVP" to sign up!
    • You will be emailed the exact address and reminders leading up to the event.

    Please Note: This info session is geared towards potential volunteers who do not have immediate plans to move out of the NYC area. If you are a person with a disability interested in learning more about our relationship building program, email info@doforone.org so we can set up a personal phone call with you.
